with each of them a ticket to the circus for helping carry water for the
elephants."

"Why didn't you call me!" wailed Danny.

"Chris and Jerry called you," answered his mother. "I heard them and
heard you answer. It's your own fault for being such a sleepyhead."

It didn't take Danny long to dress and get downstairs, his hair all
tousled and his eyes still heavy with sleep. "Let's see your tickets,"
he demanded.

Chris let him see his, but kept a possessive hold of one end. There it
was:

BURROWS AND FAIRCHILD'S

MAMMOTH CIRCUS AND
MENAGERIE

ADMIT ONE

COMPLIMENTARY

"That's a ticket, all right," Danny remarked. "Was that all you had to
do to get it--carry water for the el'funts?"

"Yes," replied Chris, "but it took hours and hours. I'm sore all over."

"So'm I," said Jerry.
